DDALCA-01 Return to the Ghost Tower of Inverness

Return to the Ghost Tower of Inverness

This is a familiar scene. Shackled. Bound. The same faces surround you as the last time you were inthis dark, dank cell. Your friends, your party members. You’ve been told that your actions have led todeath and destruction near and far, but you were only doing what was demanded of you from thosewho hold you captive again now. A looming figure goes over your crimes and holds out a glowinggemstone, offering a trade for your lives. “You must undo what you have done and put this back,” hewhispers. “You must return to the Ghost Tower.”

A Four‐Hour Competitive Adventure

Herein lies the competitive adventure DDALCA-01 Return to the Ghost Tower of Inverness. This was formerly a special adventure that could only be run if a DDAL administrator or Wizards of the Coast employee was attending your public event, but we've decided to unleash it upon the public!

As a competitive adventure, the following requirements are in place:

strict timing - this is a scored 4-hour adventure!

a minimum of 3 tables of players

you MUST use the included pregens (these pregens are only approved for use with this adventure)

Please be sure to check out the D&D Adventurers League Content Catalog for a full list of adventure notes and links to other content.

A) I assume, as with other AL adventures that feature pre-generated characters, that the DMs get the certificate as well.

B) Can the certificate be applied to a character from any season?

I can't wait to run this, and I hope it sells well enough for DDALCA-02 to be sold as well!

The description refers to being a scored event but there’s no admin document or anything that explains how scoring is meant to work. Was it left out?

I asked on Twitter: all of the scoring information is in the adventure.

Is there any clarification or guidance on what the 'winning' party gets (if all participants get the included cert)? And do DMs get the normal ACP/TCP rewards (as its not noted in the adventure)?

Can the final AL adventure about the retaking of Phlan also be released?

Where is the preview?

Is this mod missing a document for the admins running it? There’s no guidance on rewards. (Does everybody get the cert? Or just the winning table? Does the winning table get an extra reward? Etc.)

*Taps mike* is this thing on? What are the rewards? The cert and bragging rights for the highest scoring table? Do the DMs and players get ACP and TCP they can apply to other characters?
Please respond. What to run this at my FLGS, but without rewards guidance, it’s confusing.

Nelle DMay 24, 2019 2:03 am UTC

Does it still have the cert to apply to a character? Trying not to give too much away (played it at garycon x).

I can confirm this is part of the bundle.

Could a preview be added for customers to look at the pdf prior to purchase?

We'll consider it, but as a competitive adventure it's unlikely.

Other competitive adventures offer previews, (i.e. The Day the Sky Shattered).

Fantastic Module... Well written and thought out. It can be an exciting drop in to an existing Campaign, where you want your players to switch it up a little, and maybe contract this party to "win the prize" for them. Great job! [...]

This looks very tasty and fun, with a great reward for the players, BUT, the version as of 5/23 is missing a document to help guide the admins and Dms running it. it's competitive - but based on what? None of the pdfs say. Nor do they spell out rewards [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
